I know they happen.
I have some questions that would help me and others understand how your results relate to our chances of the same problem:
what is your total flying time?
14,000+
were all three in the same airplane?
No.
What kind of airplane/s?
First was in a B1900 and I had about 3000 hrs. Second was in an ATR72 and I had about 5000 hrs. Last was in an A320 with about 9000 hrs
did you own the airplane/s?
No
what caused the engine outs?
First was uncontained turbine failure. Second was a high pressure bleed leak on engine. Third was a computer problem that caused the engine to shut down.
I've flown with guys who've never had an engine failure after 30+ yrs of flying and thousands of hours. There's no rhyme or reason to them, with proper mx. I'm not saying to never fly SE night...just put the odds in your favor and realize it's different than day ops.
